Tratos’ North Sea fire resistant cable deal

Tratos Ltd, UK manufacturer and stock- ist of electric and fibre optic cables, has won a £5 million order for specialist fire resistant cables from ConocoPhillips for Phase 1 of the Jasmine discovery in the UK, Central North Sea. Jasmine, one of the UK’s largest explora- tion discoveries since the mid-1990s, was discovered by a ConocoPhillips-operated exploration well in 2006. First production from Jasmine Phase 1 began in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the core development is expected to produce at an annual gross peak sales rate of more than 88,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. Tratos will be supplying medium and low voltage cables for Jasmine Phase 1 designed and manufactured by the company with exceptional fire resistance properties. Tratos, whose primary market is the oil and gas industry, was the only company able to fully meet ConocoPhillips’ rigor- ous spec for this specialist cable, which was delivered in full last year.
